Job Title: Machine Learning Engineer Consultant - Experienced

Location: Cambridge, United Kingdom

Contract: Permanent

Breakthrough technology is vital for strengthening the UK’s Defence and Homeland Security. As an AI/ML Engineer Consultant at Awerian, you will be at the forefront of this innovation race to defend and protect the UK from the latest technological and cyber threats.

Your work will have a real-world impact. You will get to explore pioneering concepts by collaborating with elite multi-disciplinary teams of highly educated and skilled scientists, engineers, and designers. You’ll see ideas become a reality as you create prototypes through Awerian’s rapid approach to design and implementation. It’s a fantastically challenging, varied, and agile role.

You will tackle diverse, real-world challenges from the ground up using your experience in designing and deploying systems that apply ML to a broad range of tasks, pulling together third-party components, as well as building elements yourself.

Awerian’s wide variety of intriguing projects, from proof-of-concept through to working prototypes, provide both intellectual and practical challenges giving opportunity to flex your problem-solving skills and creativity to devise innovative solutions.

The projects will test your broad exposure to the ML development cycle: data I/O, cleaning and preparation, rapid code prototyping, iterating model designs and deploying and packaging code into client-ready products. The sense of job satisfaction will be tangible as you stretch your knowledge and capabilities into new areas of pioneering research and development.

Requirements

You will have a track record of academic excellence, hold a relevant degree, and have proven technical capabilities. You will need a strong foundation in Python and current ML frameworks and notable experience in a number of the following areas:


  • familiarity with popular ML libraries and frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras and scikit-learn,
  • experience with neural network architectures, deep learning techniques, and building and training deep learning models,
  • creating and handling large datasets including pre-processing steps and familiarity with data manipulation libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and data visualization tools such as Matplotlib or Seaborn,
  • hands-on experience of building ML solutions for resource-constrained situations and deploying to edge-processing platforms,
  • experience with emerging technologies such as GANs, LLMs, RL or XAI.


We are keen to hear from AI/ML engineers with experience in any sector.

Contract vs Permanent Machine Learning Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Machine learning (ML) has swiftly become one of the most transformative forces in the UK technology landscape. From conversational AI and autonomous vehicles to fraud detection and personalised recommendations, ML algorithms are reshaping how organisations operate and how consumers experience products and services. In response, job opportunities in machine learning—including roles in data science, MLOps, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and more—have risen dramatically. Yet, as the demand for ML expertise booms, professionals face a pivotal choice about how they want to work. Some choose day‑rate contracting, leveraging short-term projects for potentially higher immediate pay. Others embrace fixed-term contract (FTC) roles for mid-range stability, or permanent positions for comprehensive benefits and a well-defined career path. In this article, we will explore these different employment models, highlighting the pros and cons of each, offering sample take‑home pay scenarios, and providing insights into which path might pay better in 2025. Whether you’re a new graduate with a machine learning degree or an experienced practitioner pivoting into an ML-heavy role, understanding these options is key to making informed career decisions.

Machine‑Learning Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Model Needs More Than Math When ChatGPT went viral and London start‑ups raised seed rounds around “foundation models,” many professionals asked, “Do I need to learn PyTorch to work in machine learning?” The answer is no. According to the Turing Institute’s UK ML Industry Survey 2024, 39 % of advertised ML roles focus on strategy, compliance, product or operations rather than writing code. As models move from proof‑of‑concept to production, demand surges for specialists who translate algorithms into business value, manage risk and drive adoption. This guide reveals the fastest‑growing non‑coding ML roles, the transferable skills you may already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no gradient descent necessary.
